of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o the_o effusion_n of_o such_o joy_n and_o delight_n such_o agreeable_a transport_v and_o ecstasy_n as_o shall_v fill_v the_o utmost_a capacity_n of_o his_o choose_a once_o and_o shall_v therefore_o exceed_v their_o hope_n and_o wish_n because_o their_o first_o knowledge_n of_o such_o their_o happiness_n can_v only_o come_v from_o their_o experience_n of_o it_o and_o that_o experience_v alone_o will_v full_o answer_v to_o and_o gratify_v their_o self-love_n 7._o last_o the_o love_n of_o the_o glorify_a saint_n to_o god_n will_v be_v still_o further_o augment_v and_o indeed_o receive_v its_o full_a compliment_n and_o perfection_n by_o their_o assurance_n that_o all_o that_o happiness_n of_o which_o they_o stand_v possess_v at_o present_a shall_v be_v eternal_a for_o a_o fear_n of_o a_o failure_n for_o the_o future_a may_v dash_v the_o relish_n of_o the_o high_a enjoyment_n for_o the_o present_a and_o our_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o possession_n of_o any_o good_a thing_n be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v must_v needs_o be_v abate_v if_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o a_o doubt_n of_o its_o continuance_n but_o happiness_n with_o security_n must_v needs_o be_v complete_a and_o perfect_a nay_o it_o must_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o complete_a and_o perfect_a because_o though_o the_o continuance_n of_o happiness_n be_v future_a yet_o the_o assurance_n of_o such_o continuance_n be_v present_a and_o by_o such_o assurance_n we_o do_v in_o some_o degree_n compendious_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n enjoy_v both_o our_o present_a and_o our_o future_a happiness_n now_o the_o bless_a in_o glory_n may_v therefore_o be_v secure_a of_o the_o eternity_n of_o their_o happiness_n because_o god_n love_n stand_v immutable_o engage_v to_o their_o holiness_n forasmuch_o as_o such_o their_o holiness_n be_v indefectible_a and_o eternal_a for_o where_o that_o be_v eternal_a his_o love_n most_o certain_o be_v so_o too_o to_o conclude_v in_o a_o few_o word_n our_o love_n of_o ourselves_o make_v we_o desire_n to_o be_v happy_a but_o it_o must_v be_v our_o love_n of_o something_o else_o that_o must_v make_v we_o so_o for_o if_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o can_v of_o itself_o make_v we_o happy_a than_o it_o can_v not_o for_o that_o reason_n engage_v we_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v so_o and_o nothing_o can_v conduce_v to_o our_o happiness_n much_o less_o can_v any_o thing_n complete_a it_o but_o what_o be_v entertain_v by_o our_o love_n when_o therefore_o we_o fix_v our_o love_n upon_o that_o which_o will_v answer_v the_o desire_v of_o our_o self-love_n we_o may_v then_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o love_v that_o which_o may_v make_v we_o happy_a and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o possess_v and_o enjoy_v that_o which_o we_o so_o love_v we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v happy_a and_o if_o our_o enjoyment_n of_o it_o be_v secure_o eternal_a we_o may_v then_o be_v far_o assure_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v always_o so_o and_o that_o our_o perfect_a love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n will_v bring_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o pass_v we_o hope_v our_o forego_n discourse_n have_v make_v good_a 1._o now_o if_o the_o happiness_n of_o our_o future_a state_n in_o glory_n shall_v come_v from_o our_o love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o love_n of_o we_o then_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o have_v a_o care_n that_o we_o do_v not_o make_v ourselves_o unfit_a for_o the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n by_o our_o uncharitableness_n whilst_o we_o live_v here_o upon_o earth_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n will_v hardly_o be_v perfect_v in_o that_o man_n who_o do_v not_o love_v his_o neighbour_n for_o he_o who_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o shall_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v and_o he_o who_o do_v not_o love_n god_n here_o how_o shall_v his_o love_n to_o he_o be_v perfect_v hereafter_o for_o that_o that_o be_v not_o can_v never_o be_v make_v perfect_a and_o he_o who_o love_n to_o god_n shall_v never_o be_v make_v perfect_a how_o shall_v he_o be_v ever_o make_v happy_a for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o happiness_n no_o not_o in_o heaven_n itself_o without_o our_o perfect_a love_n of_o god_n it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o our_o saviour_n when_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v though_o he_o teach_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o several_a thing_n yet_o annex_v a_o condition_n to_o that_o petition_n alone_o by_o which_o they_o be_v to_o b●g_a forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o afterward_o give_v they_o a_o reason_n for_o his_o so_o do_v because_o if_o they_o forgive_v not_o man_n their_o trespass_n neither_o will_v their_o father_n who_o be_v in_o heaven_n forgive_v they_o their_o trespass_n by_o which_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v admit_v into_o heaven_n unless_o we_o be_v make_v like_o to_o god_n and_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v admit_v into_o heaven_n unless_o god_n do_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n so_o neither_o shall_v we_o be_v admit_v into_o heaven_n unless_o we_o be_v in_o this_o like_a to_o god_n that_o we_o do_v forgive_v their_o sin_n to_o other_o in_o one_o word_n the_o malicious_a ill-natured_a and_o uncharitable_a man_n be_v one_o of_o the_o worst_a companion_n in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o do_v it_o always_o and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n actual_o do_v make_v all_o people_n uneasy_a where_o he_o come_v and_o from_o thence_o we_o may_v be_v satisfy_v that_o he_o be_v very_o unlikely_a to_o come_v in_o for_o a_o share_n of_o that_o happiness_n which_o consist_v in_o love_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n we_o may_v be_v satisfy_v also_o that_o till_o he_o lay_v aside_o his_o uncharitableness_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o bless_a 2._o if_o our_o eternal_a happiness_n must_v come_v from_o our_o ardent_a and_o eternal_a love_n of_o god_n and_o holiness_n then_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o care_n that_o we_o do_v not_o place_v our_o religion_n and_o by_o consequence_n our_o hope_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n in_o such_o thing_n which_o have_v no_o real_a holiness_n in_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mistake_n which_o yet_o perhaps_o run_v through_o all_o sort_n of_o christian_n to_o think_v that_o such_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o holy_a will_v for_o ever_o make_v they_o happy_a for_o too_o many_o people_n do_v place_v not_o only_o their_o religion_n but_o their_o zeal_n for_o it_o too_o in_o such_o little_a and_o in_o themselves_o insignificant_a observance_n and_o practice_n which_o may_v be_v do_v or_o may_v be_v let_v alone_o and_o yet_o all_o the_o while_o they_o themselves_o be_v never_o the_o more_o either_o religious_a or_o holy_a for_o what_o holiness_n for_o instance_n can_v the_o confession_n of_o the_o sinner_n or_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n confer_v upon_o that_o man_n who_o have_v no_o other_o design_n in_o his_o confession_n but_o that_o he_o may_v go_v on_o to_o sin_n upon_o a_o new_a score_n and_o so_o continue_v his_o sin_n with_o a_o better_a relish_n and_o with_o the_o less_o reluctance_n or_o what_o holiness_n can_v the_o strict_a observance_n of_o the_o sabbath_n beget_v in_o that_o man_n who_o therefore_o only_o oblige_v himself_o to_o a_o great_a severity_n upon_o that_o day_n that_o he_o may_v by_o that_o mean_v compound_v with_o his_o conscience_n for_o his_o fraudulent_a deal_n or_o his_o profligate_n and_o vicious_a life_n all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o week_n or_o how_o can_v any_o man_n be_v the_o more_o holy_a because_o he_o list_v himself_o under_o this_o or_o that_o party_n or_o sect_n when_o all_o the_o while_o he_o take_v no_o care_n to_o do_v what_o god_n command_v or_o to_o avoid_v what_o god_n forbid_v no_o no_o holiness_n be_v a_o real_a thing_n though_o it_o be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o this_o thing_n only_o lodge_v in_o that_o heart_n which_o by_o a_o humble_a obedience_n conform_v itself_o to_o god_n will_n and_o which_o by_o harken_v to_o his_o voice_n be_v conform_v to_o his_o likeness_n and_o if_o any_o man_n think_v to_o become_v holy_a by_o any_o other_o mean_n he_o do_v but_o deceive_v his_o own_o soul_n and_o by_o a_o fond_a and_o foolish_a imagination_n exclude_v himself_o from_o that_o happiness_n which_o shall_v only_o be_v bestow_v upon_o those_o who_o shall_v be_v make_v like_o to_o he_o who_o be_v most_o happy_a that_o be_v who_o shall_v be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a all_o they_o then_o who_o will_v make_v themselves_o happy_a must_v take_v care_n that_o they_o make_v themselves_o holy_a they_o must_v i_o say_v do_v so_o and_o they_o must_v be_v please_v that_o they_o have_v so_o do_v for_o he_o only_o
